The truth can hurt, especially when it comes at a time when you least expect it. It's why so many people eat up their words online, especially when they get exposed for lying or spreading misinformation, which has become a pandemic on the internet. Regardless, the truth can be incredibly powerful too, it can be used as leverage during an argument or to shut down anyone who's trying to get their way, but only if used properly. Other times, telling the truth doesn't technically mean you're right, especially if you completely miss the nuance or context of the situation.

This is where Reddit's /r/technicallythetruth comes in, a subreddit that compiles all the moments where the truth was used in the worst way possible, often leading to some hilarious results. Strap in for an incredible journey through the world of fact-checkers and valuing literal accuracy over the nuance of regular conversation.
